WEBVTT CONTROL. SENATOR RUBIO, THANK YOU. WE WANT TO TURN TO HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY, AND MARY KATHERINE. THANKS, DAVID. GOOD EVENING, GUYS. GOOD EVENING. MR. TRUMP. YES. IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, HILLARY CLINTON HAS CRITICIZED BERNIE SANDERS' PLAN FOR SINGLE PAYER GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE, NOTING IT WOULD REQUIRE BIG ACROSS THE BOARD TAX INCREASES FOR AMERICANS.
